Hello Craig.

Yes there is a problem with (i think 2.1.9 up) BUT, we've had a dissussion +
solution, and now there is ax25-utils-2.1.9b which will solve all mheard
problems, and quite a lot more, maybe you haven't seen it but netromd also
has a problem in that version, the same cause as mheard and listen if you
look carefully with "listen".

So the right solution is upgrade to ax25-utils-2.1.9b ....
Yes that socket destroy delayed is back, and they higher archie seem to be
aware of it..

Another thing, i think you also asked about the xconvers program, i have the
sources here and i toghter with help from Hans pe1ayx, trying to alter it to
compile with 2.1xx versions. I will keep you all informed.
Its my birthday today so it might take a couple of days to clear my head -;)
